California Original, One Owner, Mercedes Benz 280 C, W-114, All Original
Vehicle Description
1974 Mercedes-Benz 280C - California Car - Rare Color Combo
This stunning 1974 Mercedes-Benz 280C is a true California original, owned by the same family since new and showing just 48,740 miles, believed to be original. Garage kept from day one, this W114 coupe is a rare survivor.
The engine starts right up and runs smooth and strong. The automatic transmission shifts confidently through all gears, while the brakes, suspension, and steering are tight and responsive. The entire drivetrain feels solid and well-maintained. Excellent tread remaining on all four correct matching Michelin 14 inch tires, mounted on factory Mercedes steel wheels with matching original hubcaps. The car is a pleasure to drive.
Finished in its factory silver paint, this coupe shows honest age-related imperfections such as chips, nicks, dings, and fading, adding to its authentic character. The car is rust-free throughout and still wears both of its original California blue-and-yellow license plates, affirming its lifelong California history.
Inside, this Benz features an eye-catching and seldom-seen genuine red leather interior (Not MB-Tex). The leather remains original with expected wear mostly on the driver's seat, but still looks clean and presentable. The dashboard is nearly flawless, with no cracks, and both door panels are in excellent condition, including the fragile plastic door pockets.

This 280C is a well-preserved, and unmodified example of Mercedes-Benz’s elegant pillarless coupe. Whether you’re a collector, enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates original classics, this car checks all the boxes.
Clear California title in hand.
